Swindon has welcomed its first Green borough councillor, with Ian Edwards leaving Labour to join the Green Party. He announced he would sit as a Green councillor until May next year, expressing pride in representing the Greens.

Councillor Edwards said he was inspired by Green leader Zack Polanski and felt compelled to join after attending a recent conference. He criticised Labour and the government, stating, “When did the Labour Party leave the Labour Party?” and praised the Greens for their focus on social justice and environmental issues.

The Swindon Area Green Party reported rapid growth, more than doubling membership since January and increasing over 60 per cent since September. His move leaves four party groups on the council, though Labour maintains an overwhelming majority.

Labour’s Councillor Sean Wilson also resigned from the group at the same time. Councillor Robbins expressed disappointment at party switching without a by-election but highlighted Labour’s ongoing efforts in local development and investment projects.

It’s time to plant Spring bulbs!

This is your chance to make a direct impact to the project by planting your own bulbs that you can watch grow and bloom.

Early flowering plants are vital food sources in spring for our precious pollinators. We have been improving our habitat area this year, adding in many perennial flowering plants and we would like to enrich this further with the addition of spring bulbs.

Please bring any:

🟣 Crocus - the bigger the better!
🟡 Wild Daffodil (Narcissus pseudonarcissus)
⚪️ Snowdrops (Galanthus nivalis)

📍 Saturday 1st November, 10.30-12

🗺️ Meet at the Quakers Walk Project Habitat Area

Directions: https://w3w.co/straw.dark.sparkles

Anyone of any age can plant bulbs on the day. We ask that all under 16s are supervised by their adult.

Please bring gardening gloves, wear long sleeves and sturdy shoes. Trowels, bulb planters and kneeling pads are all good to bring if you have them!

Questions?

Please send us a message via our page or email [email protected]
